[Birdtalk] Sharpie vs. Magpie

[Connie McManus]

This AM i was watching a Northern Harrier circle over the pasture behind my
yard and wondered about Sharpies and Magpies.  I've had a Northern Shrike
visiting here, also and wondered who would win between a magpie and the
shrike.  Probably the magpie, there.   How to put this next thought is
tricky... we hear about sharks in the deep blue sea and their feeding
frenzies and sometimes we could say that the sky holds the same dangers for
some of our little feathered friends.  I'm glad hawks don't flock to hunt!

Just a thought ...
